3D CT Cone Beam
Modern dentistry has evolved with advanced imaging techniques like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides a detailed 3D view of oral structures, allowing for better diagnosis and precision in treatment planning. This cutting-edge technology enhances visibility, helping dentists detect issues that may go unnoticed with conventional imaging.
How 3D CT Imaging Works
While standard X-rays produce flat, two-dimensional images, 3D CT scans generate a complete, multi-angle view of teeth, bones, and surrounding structures. This technology offers an in-depth assessment, improving the accuracy of dental treatments. By capturing highly detailed cross-sectional images, CBCT helps in creating precise treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
When Is 3D CT Imaging Recommended?
This advanced imaging technique is useful for various dental procedures, including:
Assessing jaw joint (TMJ) disorders for effective treatment planning.
Ensuring accurate placement of dental implants with guided surgical precision.
Preparing for complex extractions and oral surgeries.
Enhancing the success of root canal procedures by identifying hidden infections.
Why Choose 3D CT Scanning?
Using CBCT improves both diagnosis and patient experience. Patients can view detailed 3D images of their oral health on-screen, making it easier to understand treatment options. The ability to zoom in on problem areas helps dentists provide more personalized care. Additionally, digital records can be instantly shared with specialists, insurance providers, and labs, expediting the treatment process.
